A lawsuit over Goodell's contract could be very costly for Jerry Jones

"I've had discussions with the committee chairman, but received no 'notices", Jones said Tuesday morning on radio station KRLD in Dallas. Which is fitting, given that the lawsuit would arise from Jones' objection to the many millions to be paid to Commissioner Roger Goodell under his next contract.

There is thought that Jones' motivation comes out of anger with Goodell giving Dallas' star running back Ezekiel Elliott a six-game suspension that he finally started serving last week.

Goodell is seeking the use of a private jet for life as part of his new five-year compensation package from the league's owners, ESPN reported Sunday. Goodell has 18 months left on his current term and a lot to prove in the NFL's troubled 2017 landscape.

The league could take a range of steps, including fines, docking draft picks and even suspending Jones, according to several people with knowledge of the situation. Goodell's contract is set to expire after the 2018 season.

The criticisms around Goodell focus on his bungling of the league's domestic violence policy and the Bountygate and Deflategate controversies. He'll miss three more games before his next schedule court date on December 1.
